Pros

Pretty good pay and benefits.

Cons

I started on the legacy Kronos side and this is not the same company I came to work for. The leadership is not good. Decisions from leadership are secretive, and never in the favor of the employee. They have a "good ol boys club" and if you are not in it, they truly dont care about you as a person, just a means to an end. They hack away at our compensation plan every year, like Pual Bunyan trying to prove their might. The company is not financially healthy. They talk about the "rule of 40" and how they are upside down on that figure. There are too few accounts to go around and too many reps. They have fired over 1,000 employees in the last 6-8 months with zero empathy. They used to be about the employee but that ship has sailed. The grass is not greener at UKG, it is wilted and brown. The product does not meet industry standards when it comes to full suite functionality.

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
